	Messier Object 60
		M60 is one of the giant elliptical galaxies in the Virgo Cluster of galaxies.
		As the most following (eastern) Messier galaxy in this cluster, it is the last in a row of three (M58, M59, and M60), which comes into the field of view of a telescope pointed to this region of the sky.
		A supernova, SN 2004W, was found in M60 as it had already faded to mag 18.8; this supernova was found to be of a subluminous subtype of type Ia. It had probably flashed up about half a year before, but remained unnoticed because M60 was close to its solar conjunction.

	Hubble sequence - Art History Online Reference and Guide
		Elliptical galaxies (E0-7) have an ellipsoidal form, with a fairly even distribution of stars throughout.
		Elliptical galaxies are generally fairly low in gas and dust, and are composed mostly of older stars.
		From this, astronomers have constructed a theory of galaxy evolution which suggests that ellipticals are, in fact, the result of collisions between spiral and/or irregular galaxies, which strip out much of the gas and dust and randomize the orbits of the stars.

		Imaging this galaxy in the near-IR allows us to look deeper through the extinction caused by the dust and also better map the light and mass distribution of the galaxy, since the light from spiral galaxies in the near-IR is dominated by lower-mass stars, which comprise most of a galaxy's visible mass.
		It is this galaxy for which water megamasers detected in the radio orbiting very near the galaxy's center indicate the presence of a supermassive fl hole and allow an accurate kinematical measurement of the fl hole's mass.
		This galaxy has been host to six historical supernovae, four of which are thought to arise from young, massive stellar progenitors, both near the nucleus and in the spiral arms, further evidence for the vigorous galactic star formation.

		This was the star I wanted to see, and now we have it." Earlier this morning, Payload Specialist Sam Durrance successfully pointed the Astro telescopes at a somewhat challenging target, the elliptical galaxy M60, to enable the science teams to obtain an overall average spectrum of stars in its core.
		Due to the faintness of this galaxy and the absence of suitable guide stars for automatic targeting, manual acquisition of this target was necessary.
		Ultraviolet imaging also suppresses the cool star background of the galaxy, allowing the young hot stars to become more evident to astronomers studying the evolution of stars.

		Elliptical galaxies are spheroidal distributions of mostly older stars, usually without much of the intersteller material that is prevalent in spirals.
		Ellipticals are often classified with a number that describes their appearance; an E0 galaxy is almost perfectly circular while an E7 is quite elongated.
		Ellipticals vary greatly in size, from very small companions found near our own galaxy to the giant ellipticals often seen near the center of rich clusters.
